So if there is if the commission does have the desire for us to look at a denser Zoning District here, i think it would be incumbent upon us to sit down with the project sponsor, but also to get the feel of the neighbourhood. Because i would be a little surprised if there wasnt push back on that in the neighbourhood to increase the density. We have to have that discussion. It was not the project that was analyzed because that is not the project that was presented to us. If you are interested in us pursuing a change in the zoning on the site, i think that is more of a policy question that we have to explore with the developer and the neighbourhood. Commissioner johnson . Thank you very much. Not to prolong. So, totally agree with commissioner moore in terms of e. I. R. Typically within the e. I. R. , you are asking questions usually within the confines of what is analyzed under the e. I. R. And then they come out in their responses and i just think that this is it is incumbent upon us t
Footage that you need. Open space, private deck. 81,000 square feet. Not too bad. You get more open space. Garage. 2032 square feet for parking. Sorry, guys. Way too much. Two Parking Spaces per unit. Dont support that. This commission does not has not supported, and im not speaking for the commission, but our track record on supporting excess parking has not been good. So, 870 square feet for parking, eight spaces versus i dont know whether it would be four ors three in a transitrich neighbourhood. Again, to demolish Historic Resource in my community over these numbers, it doesnt add up for me. Im sorry. When i look at the page s28, the partial preservation alternative, how it doesnt meet your objective four which is the open space in the backyard and number five, the profit. I would respectfully act that there is a Second Opinion on the soundness of the building and see the actual numbers on why it doesnt add up when you actually get more in return in the final in the partial preserv
Not to prolong. So, totally agree with commissioner moore in terms of e. I. R. Typically within the e. I. R. , you are asking questions usually within the confines of what is analyzed under the e. I. R. And then they come out in their responses and i just think that this is it is incumbent upon us to really have a broader conversation that requires starting from the beginning and so i go back to my comments that this spros a little bit chicken and egg. And as a project sponsor would say, i want to do this. And heres my project description. They dont have an incentive. And i would say the power to just say i want the zoning on this lot to be x, y and z and that is what im going to do. They can request it. Right. But im saying with this particular project. I think that there are a lot of policy issues that are newer in the city. Im just saying that i wouldnt expect that a project sponsor for this project would say, hey, im just going to build rm1 and thats what i want to do. I think were
